The Most Expensive Gloves in CS2 (2026)

This list ranks the most expensive gloves in CS2 by their Factory New price on SkinsMonkey, checked on 26 October 2026, and gives the price of the most worn pair next to it, so you can see what each finish costs to own at all. Out of all CS2 gloves, the most expensive pair on the list costs $50,949.66 in Factory New. The tenth costs $4,137.99.

Six of the ten come from the first glove collection, which Valve released in November 2016 together with the Glove Case. Two are from 2026 and came out of the Dead Hand terminal in March. The rest of this post explains why the old pairs still cost the most, why Factory New gloves cost so much more than every other wear, and which wear gives you the same look for a fraction of the price.

How We Ranked the Most Expensive CS2 Gloves

The ranking uses the Factory New price, because for gloves that is the wear that decides the price. Gloves cannot be StatTrak and cannot take stickers, so the price of a pair depends on three things: the finish, the wear and, on a few finishes, how the pattern lands on the back of the hand. We list the Factory New price as the rank and the Battle-Scarred price as the cheapest way in. All prices are SkinsMonkey prices checked on 26 October 2026, and they change with the market.

Wear matters more on gloves than on weapon skins for a simple reason. Every glove finish has a float range from 0.06 to 0.80, and Factory New ends at 0.07. That leaves a window of 0.01 for every Factory New pair in the game, against 0.08 for Minimal Wear and 0.23 for Field-Tested. Very few pairs ever drop that clean, and the prices below show it: on the top two, Factory New costs more than five times Minimal Wear.

Over $30,000: Hedge Maze and Pandora’s Box

Two Sport Gloves from 2016 are in a price class of their own. Both drop from the Glove Case and the Operation Hydra Case. In Factory New, the third pair on the list costs less than a third of either of them.

• Sport Gloves | Pandora’s Box, $39,957.68 in Factory New, from the Glove Case and the Operation Hydra Case. Purple and black fabric with the same Sport Gloves layout as Hedge Maze. It is second by Factory New price, but its most worn pair costs $3,017.99, more than the most worn Hedge Maze at $2,892.95. That gives it the highest entry price of any glove in CS2. SkinsMonkey listed seven pairs on 26 October, more than any other finish in the top five.

$10,000 to $15,000: Crimson Kimono and Superconductor

The next two pairs are also from the 2016 collection, and both cost more than $10,000 in Factory New. The difference between them is how much they cost further down. Crimson Kimono stays above $1,600 even in Battle-Scarred, while Superconductor drops to a little over $1,100.

• Sport Gloves | Superconductor, $11,898.52 in Factory New, from the Glove Case and the Operation Hydra Case. Dark grey fabric with light blue lines across the back of the hand. It is a quiet finish next to Hedge Maze and Vice, and it works with almost any blue or black knife. SkinsMonkey listed no pairs on 26 October, so the prices here are reference prices from the item page and not a pair you could take that day.

$6,000 to $9,000: Five Pairs From Three Releases

This part of the list is the most mixed. It has two 2016 pairs, one from the 2018 Clutch Case and two from the Dead Hand terminal that Valve added on 12 March 2026. The new pairs reached this price in less than eight months, which tells you that age alone does not decide the price of a glove.

• Moto Gloves | Spearmint, $8,641.07 in Factory New, from the Glove Case and the Operation Hydra Case. The only Moto Gloves in the top ten: a white base with mint and teal blocks and padded knuckles. Minimal Wear costs $3,501.68, more than Minimal Wear Crimson Kimono or Superconductor, while Battle-Scarred costs only $464.42.
• Specialist Gloves | Pillow Punchers, $8,389.30 in Factory New, from the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal. Almost completely white, with quilted padding on the back of the hand. White shows dirt and scratches easily, and the Factory New pair costs more than fifteen times Field-Tested.
• Sport Gloves | Ultra Violent, $7,089.84 in Factory New, also from the Dead Hand terminal. Purple Sport Gloves with cyan fingers and yellow lines, close in style to Pandora’s Box. Its most worn pair costs $812.73, more than the most worn pair of any glove below it on this list.
• Specialist Gloves | Emerald Web, $6,550.14 in Factory New, from the Glove Case and the Operation Hydra Case. Bright green with a dark web pattern on the back of the hand. The cheapest of the three Specialist Gloves in the top ten, and one of the few green gloves that looks expensive in first person.

Around $4,000: Slingshot and the Sport Gloves Below It

Below $6,000 the list is almost only Sport Gloves. Slingshot and Nocts are separated by about five dollars in Factory New, and Arid and Amphibious follow. All four cost under $700 in Battle-Scarred, which is where expensive gloves start to be affordable for most players.

• Sport Gloves | Nocts, $4,132.91 in Factory New, from the Operation Broken Fang Case, the Snakebite Case and the Recoil Case. Very dark brown, close to black, with almost no visible pattern. Dark fabric hides most wear, and Factory New costs less than seven times the Battle-Scarred price of $611.40, the smallest difference in this group.
• Sport Gloves | Arid, $3,889.48 in Factory New, from the Glove Case and the Operation Hydra Case. Sand and tan with a darker spotted texture. Field-Tested costs $1,163.21 and Well-Worn $658.87, so on this pair the step from Well-Worn to Field-Tested costs almost as much as a whole pair of Vice in Field-Tested.
• Sport Gloves | Amphibious, $3,303.01 in Factory New, from the Clutch Case and the Revolution Case. Blue with a white pattern that looks like water. The cheapest pair in this group in Factory New, and $277.66 in Battle-Scarred.

Which of the Expensive Gloves Look Best in Game

In first person you see the back of the hand and the fingers, so the colours that cover those areas decide how a pair looks. A finish with a bright colour across the back of the hand is visible in every round. A dark or very detailed finish is easier to match but harder to notice. This is our order for the expensive pairs, from the one you notice most to the one you notice least.

Does Wear Matter on Expensive Gloves

Yes, and more than on weapon skins. The Factory New window is 0.01 wide, so the difference between Factory New and Minimal Wear is a difference in how rare the pair is more than in how it looks. On the 2016 gloves the step from Well-Worn to Field-Tested is also large: Emerald Web costs $799.56 in Well-Worn and $1,670.69 in Field-Tested. On newer gloves those two wears cost almost the same. If you want one of these finishes for how it looks, Field-Tested or Well-Worn gives you the same look for a small part of the Factory New price. Our list of the best CS2 gloves for every budget names the wear we would buy for each pair, and the cheapest CS2 gloves start under $40.

How to Get Expensive CS2 Gloves

Gloves drop as the rare special item in cases, the same slot as knives, and Valve’s published odds put that slot at 0.26% per case. A specific pair from a case with dozens of possible gloves is much less likely than that. Since 22 October 2025 you can also trade up five Covert skins into gloves from the collection of one of the skins you put in, and our look at the trade-up update one year later explains what that did to glove prices. Neither route lets you choose Hedge Maze or Vice.

The Steam Community Market is not a practical option at this price. Valve limits how much a Steam Wallet can hold, the limit is far below most of the prices on this list, and money that goes into the wallet cannot be taken out. Trading is the practical way to get a specific pair. On SkinsMonkey you log in through Steam, add skins from your inventory, pick the gloves and the bot sends the trade offer. You can check the float of each pair before you trade, which matters a lot on gloves. If you want to know what your inventory is worth first, our CS2 Inventory Value Checker shows it in about a minute. For the most expensive items in the rest of the game, see our list of the most expensive CS2 skins and the most expensive CS2 knives.

Bottom line

Hedge Maze is the most expensive, Vice is the one we would buy

The most expensive glove in CS2 is Sport Gloves | Hedge Maze, at $50,949.66 in Factory New on 26 October 2026. Sport Gloves | Pandora's Box is second in Factory New, but its most worn pair costs more than that of any other glove, so it has the highest entry price in CS2. Six of the ten most expensive gloves come from the 2016 Glove Case collection.

If you want one of these finishes to use rather than to collect, buy Field-Tested. Sport Gloves | Vice costs $529.64 in Field-Tested against $8,491.75 in Factory New, and the colours look almost the same in first person. Specialist Gloves | Crimson Kimono in Field-Tested is the red option at $2,135.12.
